Torija - Castillo de Torija

Torija - Castillo de Torija
After the "Reconquista" in the late 11th century, Alfonso VI. handed the place and its surrounding area over to the Knights Templars.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, one of the most important families in Castile - the Mendozas - settled here. They had the imposing castle built, which became the city's landmark.

The building of which - even after its restoration or reconstruction in the 1960s - essentially only the outer walls and the round corner towers remain.
